<p>if you want an estimate of next year's EFC using your 2008 information, go to the following site:</p>
<p>EFC</a> Calculator: How Much Money for College Will You Be Expected to Contribute?</p>
<p>i personally tried it using my info and i feel that, until finaid.org updates its calculator, it's a good place to start.</p>
<p>vote carefully guys and gals!!</p>
<p>Personally, I'd suggest the FAFSA4Caster at FAFSA4caster</a> - U.S. Department of Education. The beauty of this calculator is that you will get your PIN (needed to do your "real" FAFSA in January), and much of the info you input now will pre-populate when you go back in to complete the FAFSA early next year. In addition, there are checks performed as you enter info that will reduce the chance of mistakes.</p>
